Alex is in his second year at ANAM, under the guidance of Jeffrey Crellin. Originally from Sydney, Alex graduated from St Aloysius College and completed a Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where he studied with Conall McClure. Since his studies, Alex has had the pleasure of working with Opera Australia, Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Australian Youth Orchestra.
Alex’s dedication to his craft has been shaped by masterclasses abroad with esteemed oboists such as Nick Deutsch, Ivan Podyomov, and Fabian Thouand. These experiences have broadened his artistic perspective and challenged his technical abilities.
Beyond music, Alex immerses himself in the intricate art of reed making, where precision and creativity go hand in hand. In his downtime, he enjoys skateboarding.
